WISE Digital Partners Ranks on Inc. 5000 for the Second Year in a Row

SAN DIEGO, August 12, 2025 — WISE Digital Partners has once again been named one of the fastest-growing private companies in America, earning a spot on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list for the second year in a row.

Making the Inc. 5000 once is an incredible achievement. Doing it twice is a sign of staying power. For WISE, this back-to-back recognition reflects a clear strategy: stick to what works, abandon what doesn’t, serve the right industries, and invest in what’s next.

“Growth like this doesn’t happen by accident,” says WISE Founder & CEO Patrick Dillon. “It takes discipline—saying no to distractions, yes to the right opportunities, and always putting strategy before hype.”That focused approach drove key decisions in 2025, from strengthening the team to launching AI-powered services, all with one goal: delivering better results for clients.

WISE’s growth is powered by a strategic mix of SEO, paid media, custom web design, and content strategy. In 2024, the agency launched its groundbreaking AI Visibility Services, helping businesses appear in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Gemini. The results have been extraordinary—over $500,000 in new contracts in the first year alone, tripling in 2025. More significantly, these AI-driven strategies have generated nearly eight figures in new business for clients in just 18 months.

What truly sets WISE apart isn’t just its services—it’s the focus and commitment to the clients it serves. With a near-100% retention rate in key verticals, the agency continues to deliver long-term growth through ongoing strategy, optimization, and innovation.

In 2025, WISE expanded its team across all departments — including project management, media, and design — to support continued growth.The agency is also exploring new ways to apply AI responsibly—testing large language models in targeted projects and benchmarking them against human‑crafted work—to deliver even stronger results for clients in an evolving digital landscape.

For Dillon, both the recognition and these forward‑looking initiatives matter, but it’s the impact on clients that matters most.

“The Inc. 5000 tells one side of the story. The other side is the law firm that doubled its business in two years. The HVAC company that now owns its market. The accountant who used to get one lead a week and now gets dozens a day. That’s what we’re proud of.”
